SUMMARY:Margaret MacMillan - World Orders: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:We appear to be seeing the death of an international order that has survived\, with ups and downs\, since 1945. What is emerging is not yet clear\, but we can no longer take for granted international institutions such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation\, the validity of international law and agreements\, or even international norms. The United States – which has acted as the world’s hegemon for eighty years – appears to be returning to isolationism\, while revisionist powers such as Russia act against what they see as a hostile liberal international order. This lecture uses history to help us understand our present situation by considering alternative orders\, previous moments of crisis in the world\, and the ways in which change comes. Finally\, it asks what the future might hold. \nBorn in Toronto\, Professor Margaret MacMillan is both one of the world’s leading historians and one of the leading historians of the world. Professor Emerita of International History\, former Warden of St Anthony’s College\, Oxford\, and former Provost of Trinity College\, Toronto\, her work has focussed on international relations since the nineteenth century\, the history of conflict and of the British Empire\, alongside frequent departures into Canadian foreign policy and contemporary issues of national security. Perhaps her most celebrated work – Peacemakers: The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War – was a global bestseller\, and is now the standard text on the Treaty of Versailles. Other major works\, including Nixon and Mao and The War that Ended Peace have been translated into more than twenty-six languages. Her latest book – War: How Conflict Shaped Us\, was published in 2020. A major contributor to the world’s press\, she delivered the BBC’s Reith Lectures in 2018 on stages from Ottawa to Beiruit\, as well as the CBC’s Massey Lectures in 2015. Prof Macmillan was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 2015\, a Companion of Honour in 2017\, and a member of the Order of Merit in 2022. She holds honorary fellowships and degrees from institutions throughout the Western World. \nEvent Link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/margaret-macmillan-world-orders-past-present-and-future-tickets-1813464604449

After spending the early part of his career at S.G. Warburg\, he co-founded Marshall Wace LLP\, one of London’s first hedge funds\, in 1997. He continues to serve as chairman and chief investment officer\, and Marshall Wace is today one of Europe’s largest hedge fund groups. \nMarshall became heavily involved in educational philanthropy during the 2000s: as the author of several books on British schools\, as founding trustee of the children’s charity ARK and chairman of ARK Schools\, and as lead Non-Executive Director at the Department for Education from 2013-16. His first venture into media was through the news website UnHerd in 2017. He later became a major investor in GBNews\, briefly serving as chairman\, before purchasing The Spectator in September 2024. \nFormerly a major donor to the Liberal Democrats and a contributor to the Orange Book\, Marshall left the party over its opposition to Brexit and his commitment to classical liberalism. He has since supported the Conservative Party and was one of the founders of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship in 2023 with Jordan Peterson. He is one of Britain’s premier philanthropists\, often near the top of the Sunday Times Giving List. He was knighted in 2016. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sir-paul-marshall-reflections-of-an-accidental-media-owner-tickets-1322101945509″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

And yet\, as Victor Klemperer came to understand after 1945\, totalitarianism comes in two flavors\, though the ingredients are the same.’ \nIn this Pharos Summer Lecture\, Prof Niall Ferguson delves into the changes he has observed during his thirty-year career as an academic\, especially during the past decade. He will reflect on the state of academia in the throes of ‘culture wars’\, the crisis of leadership in US universities after the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023\, and why the situation in the UK – and in Oxford especially – is different. \nNiall Ferguson is a distinguished historian\, whose career has taken him to Oxford\, Cambridge\, Harvard\, NYU\, LSE\, and the Hoover Institution. He is now a Founding Fellow of the Pharos Foundation. The author of sixteen books\, his most recent work is Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe\, which wasa published by Allen Lane in 2021. He is also the authorised biographer of Henry Kissinger\, the first volume of which was published in 2015.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/niall-ferguson-the-constitution-of-academic-liberty-tickets-854118339947?aff=odcleoeventsincollection”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Disrupting the very idea of ‘Blackness’ itself\, Lord Sewell presses for the collective humanity that is now so unpopular in the age of ‘identity politics’ and provides an antidote to the idea that the lives of black people should be a decolonising project. Freedom from mental slavery is knowing how to be free\, not struggling to be. After his lecture\, Lord Sewell was  joined for a discussion on stage by Deroy Murdock. \nBorn in Brixton\, Lord Tony Sewell CBE is an internationally-respected author\, educator\, and statesman. His path-breaking charity ‘Generating Genius’ has helped hundreds of young black Britons to forge careers in STEM. In July 2020\, he was appointed Chair of the Commission on Racial and Ethnic Disparities: the Sewell Report made him the target of a cancellation effort by his critics\, but his recommendations now form the basis for the government’s policy on tackling racial inequalities. Sewell was elevated to the House of Lords in 2022. He was honoured by the government of Jamaica in 2023. His new book\, Black Success: The Surprising Truth will be published by Forum in March. \nDeroy Murdock is a prominent political commentator\, currently contributing editor at the National Review and formerly Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lord-tony-sewell-the-end-of-race-agency-self-affirmation-tickets-795591976017?aff=odcleoeventsincollection”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
